Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
I'm Fifth Estate and i am a underground producer from Canada. My goal is to create music that can take the listener out of any harsh environment and bring them to a much better and unified place. I try my best to be innovative and experiment with new sounds and ideas that can help add authenticity to my music and bring the listener closer to the music experience.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years? Do you feel that changing tastes over years as artistic growth? ?
I absolutely love what Illenium and Seven Lions are doing right now. I love how melodic and atmospheric their music is and that's really influenced some of the music I've been working on lately. At first i started producing Dubstep in its early days but after about a year i crossed over into Chillstep then that eventually led into Future Bass. When it comes to discovering new artists, i tend to pay more attention to the smaller labels because they're more open to unique and different styles of music.
What´s new right now?
Currently I've been working on a ton of new projects! They're completely different from what everyone is used to but at the same time they still have that chill euphoric feel to them. I'm also working on a brand that listeners can gather around and spread good vibes through music.

What was the biggest mistake you made when you started making music and what would be the number one tip you could give to a newcomer musician?
I think the biggest mistake i made when i first started producing was not keeping a clean mix while making a song. its super important to cut out frequencies where they are not needed. I think producing music is 50% creativity and 50% production. You may have a good song but if it doesn't have a clean mix it wont appeal to other listeners.

How do you promote yourself? Do you have any specific promotion tips for other musicians?
Twitter is defiantly a useful tool for promoting your music. It's super easy to connect with new people and gain more fans. Also, most music labels these days offer paid promotions so if you have some spare money you could do that but at the end of the day, if your music is good it'll take off on its own you just have to be patient.
